About Homo

The six-piece post-punk outfit UV Race shapes caterwauling noise and primal urges into powerful, bite-size pieces. Some bites are harder to chew than others—the two minutes of the art-skronky “Burn That Cat” feel longer, though the four and a half minutes of churning, sour melodica notes and tin-can guitar scrapings on “Nazicistic” are quite mesmerizing (and amusing). Clearly, The Velvet Underground and Swell Maps influenced these Australian musicians, with songs like “Girl in My Head” and “Inner North” pounding martial drones into mechanical things of beauty. The title track (a nod to homosapiens) is a raging white-hot mess of prickly guitar squalls and stomping bass and drums. “Low” sounds like Mo Tucker leading the VU down a rabbit hole of a drunken practice session, while “Lost My Way” isn’t far from Tucker’s solo work as a purveyor of charming, skewed pop (UV sax/harmonica player Georgia Rose has a voice uncannily similar to Tucker’s). Mikey Young of the exalted Eddy Current Suppression Ring helped shape this record in the studio.
